Navigation Mockup

Navigation Mockup

I enjoyed building the navigation and thought what I came up with was cool enough to share what I did.

The JavaScript added is just to simulate changing pages.

A fun international day where everyone takes off their CSS. Dustin Diaz, the founder of CSS Naked Day (archived at http://www.webcitation.org/5fuQLFhny), says that the purpose of this holiday is, “…to promote Web Standards. Plain and simple. This includes proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, and of course, a good ‘ol play on words. It’s time to show off your <body>.” (archived at http://www.webcitation.org/5fuPcZGxn)

So, I am taking this opportunity to promote the proper use of (x)html and good hierarchal structure by taking off my CSS. If you would like to join and you have a WordPress blog all you need is a simple plugin to do the work for you. The plugin is named “CSS Naked Day”.

What happened to the design?

I found a fun jQuery based widget called Juitter that can be found at http://juitter.com/

I changed some of the functionality and the css in the jQuery functions so it would be a little more compacte and now it is looking great. Really easy to install but if you are wanting to customize it beyond how many tweets show up you are going to need a fair understanding of jQuery.
